Divine Emperor of Death

Chapter 4997  Dawnbreaker Family

The Virtuous Dawn Realm Master was clad in a gold-brown robe, his head affixed with a golden crown of Peak Primarch Grade, his pauldrons covering his shoulders in a grand display, as well as accompanying bracers. He held a ceremonial-looking golden staff in his hand, yet it was his prime armament that was also at Peak-Level Primarch Grade, the thing that caused everyone to raise voices of awe before the lady of honor appeared.

While seated on a special throne arranged for him, just slightly below the throne of honor in terms of elevation, he gazed at Jiayi Crystalveil, his gaze intrigued.

”Seems like she really encountered the Divine Emperor of Death and has a deep story behind her. Still think sheʼs good for us?”

His voice echoed to a person behind him, shrouded in the backdrop, but able to see that they also wore a similar-colored attire, but less conspicuous.

”Good or not, if she canʼt be used, itʼs better to eliminate her and destroy evil before it can grow in our realm.” The voice responded in his mind, causing him to nod lightly.

The Virtuous Dawn Realm Master then noticed something peculiar as he saw two individuals walk to the front of the crows, but stopped in the third row and remained. They gazed at the altar before the two of them turned to look at him as though having caught his gaze, nodding at him.

He narrowed his brows, ”Keep an eye on them. Theyʼre quite strange.”

The person behind him also cast a look, ”Assassins? They couldnʼt be that bold, could they?”

”Not sure. I canʼt penetrate their hearts, likely possessing relevant treasures of Peak Primarch Grade, and I donʼt wish to raise my power and startle everyone. Still, it would be best if they could kill her, but if they succeed, my name would be sullied.”

”Pff- big news, a Realm Master couldnʼt even defend a helpless woman who had just become a business tycoon.”

”…”

Virtuous Dawn Realm Master turned and raised his brows at his subordinate, who turned out to be a woman, causing her to cough lightly before she went silent.

However, he didnʼt seem to take offense, smilingly turning to look back at the ceremony.

The ceremony contained many aspects that made one sigh and awe, but it was quite boring to him.

At this moment, a person approached him from below.

”Charles, what do you think?”

Hearing his fatherʼs voice echo inside his mind, Charles Dawnbreakerʼs eyes flickered as he walked and stood behind his father.

”Imperial father, I have to say, Jiayi Crystalveil has really opened my eyes. If she could look at you without batting an eyelid, sheʼs extremely formidable in terms of character and perhaps quite tenacious in terms of Will. I canʼt fathom her thoughts since I presume she possesses a treasure that blocks my Heart Intent.”

The Virtuous Dawn Realm Master chuckled lightly, ”Well, I do not find it surprising considering she wouldʼve interacted with the Divine Emperor of Death, who wouldʼve also used Heart Intent to measure her and see that sheʼs not a threat after much intense negotiation, not to mention all those Heavenʼs Warriors who came to investigate her.”

”Indeed, she has certainly taken measures against Heart Intent when it is advised not to when in the presence of us, the imperial family. Thereʼs no plausible deniability since many members of our imperial family are on the attending list. Moreover, she still has that treasure with her in your presence. Quite bold.”

”Truly bold, but I wonʼt blame her since my presence was unannounced.”

The Virtuous Dawn Realm Master said nonchalantly, his gaze unreadable.

Charles Dawnbreaker looked at the side profile of his father, holding immense respect in his heart because apart from him, the only legend to reach the peak of Level Two Obscure Intent of Heart Laws - State of Control, but further having a considerable chance at comprehending Level Three Obscure Intent - State of Divine Possession while still maintaining their sanity was none other than his imperial father within the current line up of the Dawnbreaker Family.

The Dawnbreaker Familyʼs bloodline was somehow suitable to learn Enigmatic Heart Laws, but it wasnʼt that significant since only a few of their members had actually managed to learn it, the others trying to dawdle with Heart Laws, the fusion of Sound Laws and Desire Laws, of which Desire Laws is the fusion of Illusion Laws and Charm Laws.

Regardless, what was Level Three Obscure Intent, the fourth realm of Enigmatic Heart Laws?

It was the realm of legends, human gods, and human deities.

The Sky Word Emperor was a resounding example, and the current one could be said to be the Boundless Heart Lord, one of the Seven Boundless Brothers. To reach this realm was significantly harder than comprehending Level Three Obscure Intent of many Phyletic Laws, according to many scholars, due to the chaos the heart could bring at each level when becoming attuned to the variety of emotions felt by humans, leading to a complete breakdown.

There were many cases of Heart Intent users being put down by peak experts because they had lost control and gone insane, even in their own Dawnbreaker Family.

As a supreme genius, Charles Dawnbreaker didnʼt have the confidence to reach this realm anywhere in this millennium, even with a stroke of luck, much less a century. However, his imperial father was truly just one step away, and then, his prowess would soar immediately, placing him above nearly all Realm Masters!

He was full of pride and glanced at Jiayi Crystalveil with derision, knowing her emotions were fully within the grasp of his father.

After all, at the level of a Hierarch, did it matter if she had a Primarch Grade Treasure that could block Level Two Heart Intent?

He inwardly sneered and continued to watch the ceremony, but with apt attention since he found himself slightly attracted to her mannerisms, as if she were an untouchable pearl.

Lacking nearly nothing, there werenʼt many things he wanted, but this time around, he felt it could be worth asking for something.

”Hmm?”

Suddenly, he saw his imperial father make a sound and turn to look at the crowd. He followed his gaze and saw a white-robed man walking through the crowd.

His face appeared to be shrouded in some kind of illusion, making him narrow his brows. It was a face that would say it was familiar but still a stranger- a perception derived from oneʼs own mind. Only after a delay of a few seconds, he recognized it was a high-level illusory disguise technique that wouldnʼt even alert oneʼs mind, causing him to raise his brows, but at this time, the commotion in the crowd was already getting higher and even noisier.

”Hey-”

”What?”

”You- stay still.”

”Why are you disturbing the ceremony?”

As the crowd in his line of path was pushed over, they reacted with angry expressions, and the guards turned alert, their feet ready to launch themselves to Jiayi Crystalveil at a momentʼs notice, but the person in question- the white-robed man moved elsewhere, seemingly targeting someone in the crowd.

He raised his hand, the crowd quickly moving away and revealing a blue-robed person in the crowd who was singled out by the white-robed man.

The blue-robed manʼs lips twitched, ”Fuck…”

*Bang!~*

His head exploded like a watermelon as a hand swung past his face.

”What!?”

”Murder!”

”Guards!”

The merchants who solely relied on pills to cultivate were scared shitless, even though they were Primarchs themselves, their bodies trembling as they realized the power that soared from that white-robed manʼs slap was comparable to a Peak Stage Primarch.

The Virtuous Dawn Realm Masterʼs pupils dilated.

At the same time, numerous guards with spears descended and locked onto the white-robed man.

”Halt!”

”Surrender!”

They covered him in a battle formation, their lips trembling as they also realized that the other party could be a peak expert, but still cornered him.

After all, the Realm Master was here!

Quickly, the white-robed man raised his hands in surrender, making them gloat, but his next words caused their hearts to jump.

”No need for panic. I just eliminated that evil called Accursed Warlock. Hopefully, the karmic attack I sent wouldʼve killed him or at least, gravely injured his main body.”

Instantly, the hall went silent.

”Bastard! That was Prosperous Gold Cityʼs City Lord! How dare you try to frame him!?”

But amidst the resounding silence, a man pointed at him.

*Bang!~*

He was instantly sent flying as he crashed into the crowd, but this time around, no one said anything as they completely froze.

Why? Because the attack didnʼt come from the white-robed man but someone else, someone far above their status.

The Realm Master quickly descended from his high throne and stood in front of the white-robed man, cupping his hands as he knelt.

”I, Alric Dawnbreaker, welcome the Supreme One with my utmost respect.”

”…”

The man who seemed to be from the Prosperous Gold City and spoke for the City Lord had his jaws drop, his eyes bulging as his eyeballs nearly rolled out.

Did he just call the human raceʼs foremost leader and supreme ruler- a bastard?

Countless people had frozen, unable to process this sudden change.

On the altar, Jiayi Crystalveil gulped audibly.

The Celestial Transcendent was finally here…

*Bang!~*

Instantly, not a single one dared to stand, their knees hitting the ground.

Jiayi Crystalveil was the same, and even her elusive father seemingly appeared out of nowhere and knelt along with her.

”Greetings, Supreme One!”

Their voices boomed throughout the entire city, causing countless people, unaware, to feel their hearts jolt, nearly choking on their saliva.
